60 Red Hat Sisters from various Victorian Chapters joined them at the Waurn Ponds Hotel, to help celebrate.

A lovely 3 course lunch and the odd glass of champers was had by the ladies. During the course of the day a hat was passed around and $380 was raised to pass on to the Buy A Bale campaign, such generosity was overwhelming. Raffles, Lucky Door Prizes and merchandising were also part of the day.
